Dance can be defined in three ways: as rhythmic steps and motions performed by the body, as a set of choreographed steps usually performed to music, or as a social gathering where people dance. More broadly, dance is an art form that involves rhythmic body movement, often to music, and can be a form of expression, social interaction, or spiritual performance. Dance is also found in other animals and can incorporate other activities like gymnastics or martial arts.

a spiritual or performance setting.
 Dance may also be regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans, and is also performed by other animals (bee dance,patterns of behaviour such as a
mating dance). Gymnastics, figure skating and synchronized swimming are sports that incorporate dance, while martial arts kata are often compared to dances. Motion in
ordinarily inanimate objects may also be described as dances (the leavesdanced in the wind).
 Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent on social, cultural, aesthetic, artistic and moral constraints and range from functional movement (such as folk dance)
to virtuoso techniques such as ballet. Dance can be participatory, social or performed for an audience. It can also be ceremonial, competitive or erotic. Dance movements
may be without significance in themselves, such as in ballet or European folk dance, or have a gestural vocabulary/symbolic system as in many Asian dances. Dance can
embody or express ideas, emotions or tell astory.
